The little Christmas break from the cabinet card album is over and we will now view the next page.

Ladies first…

There isn’t much to go on for dating.

J Fraser Bryce 197 King Street West, Toronto.

Another Torontonian in the mix. Thus far the album has had a few folks from Toronto.

The photographer was working in Toronto at that address between 1885 and 1903. He took a couple of years off to study in the States (1895-97). Most of the photographs in this album seem to be in that time frame.

Look at that fabulous beard! Very like Santa! Even seems to be smiling under all that…jolly just like Santa!

He was also photographed in Toronto but on Queen street. (Tee hee! The lady had her photograph done on KING street and the man had his done on QUEEN street!) I haven’t been able to get any clear dates about when he (the photographer) was at this address.
